New Year, New Crafts

I've been told I'm slightly crafty. And I often lose myself in projects (and Michael's/Hobby Lobby/Jo Ann's). Over the past year I've made everything from ruffled shower curtains and wedding shower invitations to Christmas pajamas for kids and a super secret project from Santa (that's right, kids...I've got a direct line to Santa and he commissions projects from me).

I've done so much stuff over the past couple years that I've literally lost track. My friend suggested I start a blog to keep up with all of my crafts and sewing projects and, with some hesitation, I decided it might be a good idea.

As I like to bake, I feel like everything in life works best when you have a recipe to use and my "recipe for success" in the craft corner is just this:

1. A great (and by great, I generally mean AWFUL) Lifetime movie or "My Fair Wedding" with David Tuttera (if anyone knows him...please introduce me. I seriously need to be his friend)

2. A challenging idea (I never do anything the easy way...ha)

3. A lot of time or a lot of wine, although the latter usually makes for some interesting end results

and, finally...

4. My big fat cat to sit on whatever I'm working on. (don't worry, all finished products are de-cat-hairified.)

Meet Mercedes. She likes to get all up in my business.

With all these things in place, I'm ready to sew. Or paint. Or glue. Or whatever!

I'm really excited to share all of this with all of you! I hope everyone enjoys the stuff I'm working on and that you send any great ideas you have my way! I'm always up for a challenge! :)

Come back soon see what I've got in the works for my newest (almost) nephew, Jett Crowder! Can't wait to meet you little man! (but make sure you wait til I've got this stuff finished! haha!)
